DMX says a girl he barely knew tried stealing his watch from a hotel room but she’s claiming the rapper sexually assaulted her.

Sources close to ‘X’ tell TMZ he met a girl at a bar in Hollywood Friday night and brought her and a group of people back to his hotel room in Orange County. We’re told it wasn’t long before X’s team noticed the girl had vanished and so had his $30k watch, so they called the cops.

Costa Mesa Police Department tells TMZ when they arrived, they found the girl with the watch and arrested her for theft. However once in cuffs she claimed the rapper had sexually assaulted her.

Our X sources say he got his watch back but the girl’s story is BS there was a ton of other people around in the hotel room and he never hooked up with her there.
